This multi-award winning cheese is recognised as one of Australia’s best. It is hand-made by Carla Meurs and Ann-Marie Monda with 100% organic milk from their own herd of dairy goats. The fresh, clean, citrus flavours of the goat’s milk shine through and there is a subtle nutty note from the wrinkly white rind. The texture is smooth and velvety. Made with non-animal rennet.

Named after famous French gastronome and avid cheese-lover Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, this cheese is pure indulgence without being over the top. Under the thin, white rind the triple cream interior has a soft, whipped texture and a rich flavour with a light, lingering finish. Like other double and triple creams, it does have added salt, but it is very subtle on the finish.

Appenzell has been made in the Swiss Alps for over 700 hundred years. It is a bit like a gruyere, but with a more pronounced flavour and rich hints of cream and roasted almonds to finish. It is a great cheese for those who like a full flavour and a smooth, even texture that isn’t crumbly.

The King of Cheeses – a great Parmigiano Reggiano like this is a kitchen staple. Our reggiano from Cantarelli is sweet and savoury with a well-balanced bite. It also has an amazing texture – crumbly and flaky, but still incredibly moist – the result of aging in the family’s naturally ventilated cheese caves, used since the 1800’s for maturing Parmigiano Reggiano. Aged for 36 months and certified organic don’t let a single gram go to waste, grate on pasta or use the rind to flavour soups and stocks. Each wedge comes freshly sliced off the block wrapped in wax paper and sealed to protect the cheese from oxidisation.

This young Asiago is perfect for those wanting a milder cheese that still delivers on flavour. It has a smooth, supple texture with lots of eyes through-out, and a sweet, milky, slightly nutty flavour. It is great on panini, sandwiches and party platters.

Our 36 month Comté from Marcel Petite has been specially matured to develop an amazingly complex flavour that will have you coming back for more and more – sweet roasted nuts, hints of yeastiness, rich cream and an echo of grassy mountain pastures. The texture retains a smooth consistency, but becomes firm and condensed over time. Small, white amino acid crystals can be seen through-out the interior – the sign of a well matured cheese.

Known for its striking deep-orange colour, Mimolette was apparently created to mimic Dutch cheeses during a time of trade restrictions. While the colour may suggest a ‘strong, bitey’ cheese, the flavour is actually quite round and smooth. It has a predominantly hazelnutty flavour with hints of salt and butterscotch on the end palate. Mimolette is very wine friendly, pairing well with a variety of sparkling, white and red wines.

A little bit stinky and a whole lot of tasty, Taleggio is easily recognised by its deep orange washed rind. This Italian classic has a pungent aroma and a rich, creamy flavour with savoury hints of smoked meats and lightly fried mushrooms. It’s soft and smooth with a creamy finish – enjoy with a beer or glass of Pinot Grigio. Taleggio works well on a cheese platter or use it make a Taleggio, thyme and mushroom pizza – delicious!

Just one smell, one taste of this pecorino and you will be transported to the gentle, grassy hills of Tuscany. It is matured wrapped in hay, which imparts an extra flavour to the cheese.

One of the best-known Italian cheeses, Gorgonzola Piccante is a relatively strong blue with a pungent, spicy bite developing early on. The finish is smooth with hints of cream and sweet milk from the lush dairy pastures of the Valsassina region – the original birth-place of this cheese.
